' a: '-53".-!-EDWINMM; RosENBLUrmpF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA;

Be it known that I, EDWIN M. ROSEN QBL'UTH, of the city of Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and-State of Pennsylvania, have invented a certainnew and useful Improvement in Lamp-Brackets, whereof the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

My invention relates to brackets arranged to support a lamp in detachable relation to a vehicle body, and provides such a bracket with means whereby a card or panel indicating that the vehicle is licensed may be suportedin such relation to the lamp as to be .llluminated by the latter.

In the form of mv inventionhereinafter the bracket comprises a base plate 1 which is: arranged to be conveniently attached to. a vehicle body and has two arms in ganged to detachably hold the lamp, and the relation. One of said arms is ar- =:,o ther arm"carries an adjustable rod from "which. the licensepanel is detachably suspended and a spring clip arranged to engage theiree lower portion of said panel whereby is prevented from swinging.

Myinvention comprises thevarious novel features. of construction and arrangement hereinafter more definitely specified;

In the drawing: FigureI is a perspective I view showing abracket conveniently embodying' ny improvement and supporting a lampand a license panel in cooperative relation Fig. II is a plan view of said bracket and lamp with the license panel removed.-

In said drawings; the bracket comprises "the'baseplate 1, having holes 2, so that it ma be conveniently attached to the vehicle bo y bybolts or screws' Theabracket arms- 3, and 4, which are in unitary} relation with said plate 1, are respectively arranged to support the lamp 5, and license panel 6,,in vert-i- 1 cal position. Said lamp 5, is provided with the socket'7, fitted to the vertical shaft 8, on aid arm 3, so that it may be shifted to any desired position of vertical or horizontal adjustment and be detachably secured by the set screw 9. Said arm 4, is provided at its top with the horizontal bearing 11, through -which the rod 12, may be adjusted and detachably secured in any desired position by the set screw 13. The panel 6, which may bear a number as indicated by the dotted lines 14, in Fig. I, or be provided with any other device manifesting that the vehicle is licensed, has slots 15, at its upper edge LAMP-BRACKET.

Patented April 7, 1908.

thr'oughwhich extend flexible straps 16, which encircle said rod 12, and are secured thereon by buckles l7. Said rod 12, thus afiords a horizontal axial support for the panel 6, and is provided with the head 18, which prevents the accidental longitudinal displacement of the panel. vented from swinging and maintained in vertical position in rigid relation with the Said panel is prebracket, by the finger 20, provided with the flat spring 21, arranged to form a spring clip which engages the edge of the panel. It may be observed that said bracket being, as above described, provided with a vertical axial bearing for the lamp and a horizontal axial bearing for the panel, the lamp and panel may be adjusted in any desired cooperative position so that the panel is illuminated by the lamp to any desired degree. Moreover, upon disengagement of the set screw 13, said rod 12, may be adjusted longitudinally to fit and retain license panels of different lengths.

I do not desire to limit myself to the precise details of construction and arrangement herein set forth, as 1': 1s obvious that various modifications may be made therein without departing from the essential features of my invention.
